Five surface soils from southeastern Montana were exposed to air containing elemental mercury vapor. The majority of the sorbed Hg was found to volatilize at 100-200°C. The sorbed Hg was resistant to extraction by water, neutral salts, methanol or DTPA. Cysteine, acetylacetone and cupferron showed limited extraction of sorbed Hg, while benzene and to a greater extent, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide demonstrated high removals of sorbed Hg. The observed behavior suggests that elemental Hg may be retained by soils as an organo-complex.
